Well, there is one situation where either separate git-bases program (which is a good start; it can be named git-bundle--bases; there are some precedents for that ;-)), or allowing to create 'bases' file without creating bundle would be good to have. Namely situation where two computers are _sometimes off-line (disconnected)_. If you want to transfer new commits from machine B to machine A, you would generate 'bases' file on machine A, then transfer this file using some off-line medium, then generate bundle on machine B using those bases, etc.
